About me Your average 30-something eccentric, currently squeezing in reads at night after I finish studying for the day (vet school - love it!) I'm American and have lived in New Zealand for two years now.
The chocolate dog is Silas, a 12-year-old red/white Australian Shepherd who is obsessed with hedgehogs and other things that go bump in the night.
About my library Primarily a lifetime reading list. I have included a few owned-but-unread books and some wishlist books, appropriately tagged.

You've read a lot of the books I love. I have never met anyone who's read Lisa Alther, I think she's fantastic. I just came across her work by accident and I read kinflicks then original sins...have you read any more of her work? Any recommendations?

Have just been reading some Lissa Evans novels which are great, especially 'Spencers List'. Very funny indeed.
Hope you're well and any other recommendations greatly received. Have you finished your latest read?
Just heard Armistead Maupin on Radio 4 here in the UK, you might be able to listen again on the website.
Take care

I will keep looking through your library for more recommendations. What are you reading at the moment?

As a fellow medical professional, I admire your ability to continue to read literature as a vet student. I don't think I read more than half a dozen novels through four years of med school and the first 2-1/2 years of my pediatric residency. I'm now trying to make up for lost time!
Best wishes, Darryl

I admit that I have not yet read the Will Self book - I have a TBR pile as long as a football field. I am impressed that you have time and energy to read in vet school - I did not read anything in the years I was in med school. All I wanted to do was socialize after all the book reading - well done. (actually I was very shy, but so young then).
Cheers, Karen

I see you live in Palmerston North. My niece (Rebecca Shone) is in vet school there too - do you know her??
I spent my teen years in Tauranga (now in Vancouver), so interested you live near my old home.
Nice to meet you.
Cheers, Karen
